I also have the user created herolab .por files for the AP, hit me up if you would like them. In fact, I'm not done yet but I'm making pdf's of all of them.

I'm going to start running this is the next few months and I plan on making her not a child eating monster but instead a person that started netural but has gone a bit more chaotic evil in the last few thousand years. I like how in her stories she is annoyed at people bugging her especially if they want some of her magic.

My Black rider will paint her as saving Irrisen from a second world wound by creating the permanent winter (our table is a little loose with the world building). Irrisen is somehow connected to her homeland is why she cares. She replaces her daughters every 100 years because the first few kept getting so evil and currupt by that time that she was afraid they might loose control.

I don't think I need the geas and the rider has to give the PCs his blood in order for them to enter the hut and make the reconizable as allies to a few NPCs. It also gives his last bit of power to help them get to the hut. I do want to make sure they know that she beguilingly owes them a favor if they release her. In book 6 when they can start talking to her more and more as they remove layers of the doll, I want her to be very smart (but a bit forgetful), bitter, angry, and a little funny and charming.

I'm looking for more fairy tale flavor and may add the harrowing to book 4. I've already run 'murders mark' as a prequel and had the fortune teller give a few clues going all the way to book 5.

The Beast Talisman looks great but the 5 minute duration make it a tough call vs. AoMF. My experince with wanting to stay in wildshape all day as is where is allways a time I want to use a scroll, wand ,staff, or potion. The Druid's vestment gives you an extra wild shape and that can help alot especially if you are doing Planar Wildshape. The shifter's headband is cool when you get enough for a +4 Headband of wisdom as you get a extra switching from one form to another. Later game with my Golath Druid build I was able to buy fun stuff like a "Swirling Smoke tattoo", Four Leaf Clover, Lucky Horseshoe, Boots of speed, Tallasman of freedom, and Talasman of Life. My caster based Druid I've found it helpful to buy a ton of scrolls and potions for situational things that may come up.

I've been playing a Goliath Druid from level 9 and now at 16 in Rise of the Runelords and she's been great fun as a two handed fighter and the ability to solve problems with spells at the right time. And I also play a 8th level Caster Druid with a big cat in the Iron Fang Invasion. Even at level 8 the cat one shots everything it charges when buffed, I have to use a lot of my spell slots to do so though. At level 9 the cat gets even better.
